I am praying for my friend, the Black Squirrel

Saturday cold cloudy morning with 1 C. Very quiet outside. I think, it 
is weekend or may be most of the people staying home,taking precautions, 
following instructions.

 I am busy with my laundry. I do it early morning, before having breakfast
so to be done before noon. I have other plans after that. One load is in 
Dryer. Second one, of my sweaters and stoles, is ready to go into washer.

 I think, this period of staying home, has to be taken like a blessing.
To do things, we never have time to do.To spend time with our own self,
to ponder, to focus on things, inside our home.

 Yesterday, I sorted my clothes, reorganized my cupboard. Clothes,
I wear at home, are now on the upper shelves, at eye level. I did it 
as sort of precaution. If I get sick, it will be easy to take clothes.
I don't have to bed down. Easy to handle things. We have to be 
ready for anything. 

 It is 10.30, I am sitting in TV lounge. News Channel is on. I am watching 
that and also busy with my Crossword and Scrabble books. I am enjoying 
the scenic view of my back garden too.

 It is quiet, Black Squirrel not there. I think, he is staying home, following 
the directives. Birds doing the same. I can't see anyone. Trees giving somber 
look. It looks, it is time to wait and see. What will be the next.

 I called two of my senior club members.They didn't get any call. No one 
called them. We talked for a while. Just a chit chat. We have to share
and let people know that they are not alone in these difficult difficult 
moments. Everyone facing the same. We all are in same boat.

 It is 12.30, my daughter in law is sleeping. She didn't have good sleep at 
night. My son went for walk. I will go after. Someone has to stay home.
My eldest grandson is in bed with fracture. He might need something.
It is great that my family is confident that I will be able to handle things.
They can take exit and relax.

It is 1.15, I am busy in my kitchen, making chocolate milk and cutting fruits 
for my grandson. He is awake. It is 3.45, I am getting ready to go for my 
walk to my second home, I mean to Tim Horton.

 It is 4.15, I am all set, dressed up in layers. It is so beautiful, out here.
Birds playing hide and seek on tree tops. Some walking around. Enjoying 
and having chit chat. I can't see my friend, the Black Squirrel. 
I am worried, praying for him.

 It is 5 pm, I am back, sitting in TV lounge, watching and enjoying 
my time with my family. It is important to keep connected with 
the people around.

    Beautiful morning sunny and bright. No more rain. We had already more than enough of it. Grass and flowers, don't need any watering. It is 26 C, hot day.   This is weekend, I have to do my hair color. My friend invited me for afternoon tea. I will go there. It is always good to be with friends and family. We have to accept invitations, to make our day. I think, calls are sort of blessings. Signals from God for us to gather happiness. Life is nearly the same for everyone. It is all up to us, how we take it.  Try to give color to the moments in hand. Sitting idle, doing nothing, won't bring happiness. Try to be active, do something, anything you like to do. Go for walk, to look the scenery around.  Some people like outdoors, some not. They like to be indoors. Find the spot of your choice in your garden / balcony, get book / magazine of your interest, to be happy. Bird watching is beautiful. You feel great, watching them doing things, you get invo...

     October 29th 2024 It's a different scenario today. Cloudy morning hazy sky. Sun is hiding under his gray blanket. It is Tuesday so I don't have to go to work. No Darts today at the library. It is a day off for me. I have to make other plans to make my day. Day offs are like clean slates. We have to write our schedule to fill out the columns of the day. When we have to go to work or school, our timings are all set.  We don't have to worry about how to pass our time. We have just a couple of hours left to sort out after coming back from our workplace or school. Weekends and day offs are tricky. We need some homework to fill out our day slots. Try to make it like a combo, a mixed plate to have a taste of everything. Day offs are like blank sheets. We can write, paint, whatever we want to do, to fill out. Every day is like a container with twenty four hours of consignment. It's delivered every morning.  We have to open it and use to finish it up. It all has to ...

Have a taste of Nature

      October 22nd 2024 Great morning 18C. It is like summer for Canadians. Couple of more days to enjoy the outdoors.  Beautiful leaves of all colors are everywhere giving a scenic look to the atmosphere to behold and to cherish these moments. Nature is amazing. There is always something for we Humans to make our day. Take some time off from your day today to look around. You will find beauty everywhere. It doesn't matter in which part of the world you live. Don't have to plan for long trips. It is all at your doorsteps. Keep your eyes open and take a break to smell the nature around. You will get the flavor and also inner peace deep down. It will be a rare happiness all on its own. You don't have to make any payments, any investments for that. Just a time alone slot and all the transactions will be done. It works like meditation. It's 11.45, I am at Tim Hortons enjoying my small tea, not coffee today. We have to change our menu too. It works something like a change...
